NBA 2018-19: Hits and Flops - Detroit Pistons vs Boston Celtics

#2 Flop - Marcus Smart

Smart had added responsibility in the absence of Kyrie

Marcus Smart is one of the best competitors in the NBA. He fights on every possession and gives his 100% effort. Smart finished the match with 16 points, 3 rebounds and 5 assists. But he was guilty of turning the ball over a lot of times. He had 6 turnovers in this match and that kept the Pistons within reach of the Celtics score.

Smart is averaging 8.3 points per game for the season in 27 minutes of action. His real contribution is one on the other end of the floor where he shows remarkable hustling and fighting abilities.

#2 Hit - Blake Griffin

Griffin is having an outstanding season

The five-time All-Star is having one of his best NBA seasons with the Pistons. Blake Griffin has almost single-handedly taken this franchise to the 8th spot after they were faltering midway through the season.

Griffin finished the match with the game-high 32 points on 10-19 shooting from the floor. He also grabbed 8 rebounds and dished out 5 assists. Griffin will be making his first All-Star appearance this year since 2015.
